I have recently changed jobs and wanted to say 'Thank you' to all of my amazing team that I worked with. Of course I had to add the personal touch and create something unique. I used the tips from Paula's class earlier this year creating tags using Ranger Distress products. I loved how these tags turned out - each one being a little bit different - just like my managers :)
So to start... I created the tag backgrounds - I didn't have any tags left so I made my own from Ranger Manilla Cardstock - I used Tim Holtz Distress Stain but also made my own sprays using the Distress Ink Refills and Mini Mister bottles, really wanted to make sure I could get the right coverage. It got really messy - so much fun! Love playing :)

I used my new addiction - stencils - with 'Dusty Concord' Distress ink to create some great dimension and pattern on the tags. I then distressed the edges using 'Iced Spruce' Distress ink. I added white splatter with Dylusions ink and then added Damask pattern from Stampers Anonymous and Archival Black ink.

Next was to create the elements - Butterflies and Thank you Die Cuts - I heat embossed both of these giving a great shine and dimension - then added some extra colour to the butterflies with Tim Holtz Alcohol inks.

Time to put it all together.......

The tags all came together beautifully :) each one with its own little bit of 'unique'.
